Ellende, referring to the middle high german word for “being out of one’s country” portrays the vision of Austrian multi-instrumentalist L.G. with an oeuvre of five fulllength albums and eight releases in total since 2011. His ambitions in atmospheric and ambient black metal have expressed human failure, pure emotion and beauty for over a decade. Through a subtle incorporation of classic instrumentation such as strings, brass and piano Ellende often exceeds boundaries of what is considered black metal.
This project played more than 100 shows in over 20 countries as a live formation with session musicians. They were invited to prestigious festivals like Ragnarök Festival, Brutal Assault or Party San Open Air etc. Ellende reached official chartpositions in Austria (14, 21) and Germany (31, 34, 94) with the last three albums.
